Your approach to using VM on capable hardware to build/config, as opposed to doing it _on_ the Soekris, is a great solution.

The soekris boots from an internal harddrive,

Disk: ad0 Partition name: ad0s1 Free: 0 blocks (0MB)
Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs
—- —– —- —– —- —– —- —–
ad0s1a / 1024MB UFS2 Y
ad0s1b swap 512MB SWAP
ad0s1d /var 4096MB UFS2+S Y
ad0s1e /tmp 1024MB UFS2+S Y
ad0s1f /usr 31498MB UFS2+S Y

not a CF.

I can, of course, remove the harddrive from the soekris, get it mounted directly @ the VM, and install, but …

Might you have any thoughts on how best to get the VM-built 8x image onto the in-place Soekris+HD? tftp seems … inelegant at best. A better solution?

Thanks!
